.PERFUMER FOR- ELECTRIC FANS.

Application filed April 7, 1926. Serial No. 100,373.

The main objectof this invention is to provide an attachment forelectric fans which aids in scenting the atmosphere with perfume. Thedevice comprises a plurality of open mesh-covered containers upon aframe which are fastened in front of the propeller of an electric fan toexude perfumed fumes.

Another object is to provide a modified type of device in which theperfume containers are fed from a supply bag.

The above and other objects will become apparent in the descriptionbelow, in which characters of reference refer to like-named parts in thedrawing.

Referring briefly to the drawing, Figure 1 is a front elevational viewof the preferred type of perfumer.

Figure 2 is a side elevational view of the perfumer, showing it asmounted on the frame of an electric fan.

Figure 3 is an end elevational view of the preferred type of perfumer.

Figure 1 is a front elevational view of the modified type of perfumer.

Figure 5 is a side elevational view of Figure 4:.

Referring in detail to the drawing, the numeral 10 indicates thecircular ring composed of wire or some other rigid material. This ringhas a plurality of containers 11, 12, 13, and 14, attached thereto. Said0011- tainers are provided with a bottom, are filled with gauzesaturated with perfume, are open at the top, and are covered by a wiremesh 15. A pair of rods 16 and 17 extend vertically and are aiiixed toopposing sides of the ring 10. Intermediate the length of these rods,pairs of clamp members 18 and 19 are pivoted on said rods, asillustrated in Figure 3 and the free ends are normally retained inseparated relation by springs 20 which are mounted between thecooperating clamp members.

In the modified type of device, a ring 21, similar to the ring 10 of thepreferred type is used. The rods 22 and 23 extend diametrically across aring 21 and project beyond the upper edge of the ring illustrated inFigure 4. In the modified type of device, a pair of gauze containers 24and 25 are used and are mounted on opposite sides of the ring.

These containers are similar in structure and design to that of thepreferred form and are fed with perfume through tubes 26 and 2? whichcommunicate with and continue from a rubber bag 28 which is closed by afilling cap 29 at its upper end. fied form of device is providedwith theclips 18 and 19 shown in the preferred form and the same numerals willbe used to indicate these parts.

The cage 30 of an electric fan which on closes the blades of thepropeller usually consists of two rings connected by tie rods 3- and theouter ring having a wire mesh to serve as a guard for preventing injury.To the outer ring 32, the device is attached. The motor 33 of thefanmounted upon the neck 34- of a base 35 actuates the fan in the cage ofthe device and circulates a current of air past the containers. This airin enveloping the containers 11. 12, 18, and 14, causes circulation ofthis perfumed air to distant parts of the room. In the preferred type ofdevice, the gauze in the containers must be manually saturated, but inthe modified type, the gauze is automatically saturated thru the tubes26 from the reservoir bag 28.

It is to be noted that certain changes in form and construction may bemade Without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

I claim 1. A device of the class described comprising a ring adapted tobe attached to the cage of an electric fan, containers mounted on saidring and adapted to use perfumed gauze, said containers being mounted infront of said fan, clamp members forming part of said ring, said clampsbeing adapted to engage the cage of the electric fan to secure the ringin front of the cage, bars extending diametrically between oppositesides of the ring, said bars having the clamp members pivoted thereon,and springs normally ciosing said clamp members.

2. A device of the class described com prising a ring adapted to beattach-ed to the cage of an electric fan, containers mounted on saidring and adapted to use perfumed gauze, said containers being mounted infront of said fan. clamp members forming The modipart of said ring, saidclamps being adapted to engage the cage of the electric fan to securethe ring in front of the cage, bars extending diametrically betweenopposite sides of the ring, said bars having the clamp members pivotedthereon, springs normally closing said clamp members, a reservoir bagmounted on said bars, and tubes leading from said bag into thecontainers, said containers being covered by a Wire 10 mesh screen.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.

ANDREW RADEEFF.
